<p>General: White male, attending top art/performing art school in city, sends many people to top art schools and ivies....Looking at both art colleges (metalwork and jewelry) and some academic colleges
GPA: 3.9-4.0 weighted (As of last term it was a 96.58...but that should go up because of my 100.13 avg this term). Should be around 3.7ish unweighted (again my school makes this kind of difficult)
Rank: Definately top 25%, probably top %10
All NY Regents are above 90 (Will graduate with advanced regents diploma and endorsement from music department)</p>
